estimates were correctly made. Bus
mess that has been unusually fiat
for the past four months has sprung
into life. Every branch of commerce
IS experiencing a revival. The cause
back of this effect is nothing more
nor less than the advertising enter
prise exhibited by the enterprislng
merchant. The successful business
man reaps the value of successful ad.
vertising and there is not one of them
that will fail to advise a lavish ex-
penditure of money on public an
nouncements. The first step toward
success in business is to become sue
cessfully known. The merchant
who persistently tells the public that
his place is the place to buy. that his
goods are the goods they want. that
his prices are the prices best suited to
their means, will in time reap the
most decided benefits of a revived
trade. Behind the mere matter of
advertising must lie that spirit of
downright persistency which will
force a man to keep on advertising
ill the results he is after are obtain
ed. The faint.hearted merchant new
ar gets very far ahead in the business
world, There are two many COM
eetitors around nowadays who are
bot faint-hearted. They believe in
Me efficacy of letting the public know
all about things, and they believe in
the efficacy Of counting and retaining
the ATTENTION Of the public, which can
be retaineoin no other way than by
constant communion with the people
throughout he public prints.-Fred-
erick Ne,CS.

Let the Public Know.

The volume of fall business in the
great cities will be unusually large
this fall. Preparations have been
made for an immense trade, and to
some extent boom has already init.
mated its presence. A revival of fall
trade will effect every part of this
country. The small cities will come
in for their share of it along with the
large ones. The merchants of the
small cities should begin to realize
this and let the public know that they
are prepared for it. The merchant
owes it as duty to the public to an
nounce himself through some judi
cious advertising medium as in read
mess to supply the popular demand.
He is mighty sleepy merchant who
fails to take time by the fore-lock in
the matter of his fall announcement
and let the public know what he has.
1t pays to be on familiar terms with
the public at such time. II pays to
speak to them through the medium
of the public prints.
One half the cause of the business
depression in the small towns and
cities of this country is the inability
of the merchants to realize in time
what good thing it is to be on terms
with the public. The secret of busi-
ness prosperity lies half the time in
judicious advertising enterprise. The
live merchant cannot spend too much
on public announcements made
through a live medium. 1t is not
money spent at all to advertise. 1t
is the wisest investment business
man can make. II pays an absolutely
assured dividend and in time the
principal is returned plus the inter est
that has accumulated in the form of
new customers, more ready cash
buyers and wider reputation estab-
lished for quality and quantity OF
goods and fairness of dealing. The
public, too. as a general rule, have
more appreciation for the man who
is not afraid to spend money on an
nouncements than they have for the
sleepy individual who drifts along In
the best way possible to him who
labors under the odium of being too
mean to tell the public where he
Keeps store and what he keeps in it.
Printers ink can be used by mer-
chant to advantage when every other
effort to boom trade has absolutely
fallen fiat. Printers ink has charm
about it which brings custom whether
the indications are good or not.
1t has now been several weeks
since careful estimates were made by
careful business men in the leading
cities of the volume of fall business
liable to be done. The tone of those
estimates was to the effect that trade
on all sides would experience boom.

A Wonderful Bicycle.

A number of gentlemen interested
in the adoption of cycles to military
purposes assembled at Hanwell re-
Gently to witness some trials and ex-
periments with bicycle which has
been constructed by Messrs. Wilkins
d Co., of Holborn Viaduct. The BIZ
cycle, which in its general outward
appearance resembles a machine of
the familiar safety type, was put
through series of the most extraor-
binary tests, with result which
greatly astonished and amused the
on lockers. Starting from the centre
of the town a man rode the machine
over half mile or so of road to the
bank of the river Brent, where, dis
mounting, he proceeded to blow
into couple of small bags attached
to the handles. The initiation occu-
pied about minute and then the
rider, having thrown his bicycle into
the water, dived after it. swan across
and landed on the other side.
He then rode over three or four
miles of very rough country, includ-
ing ploughed fields and swampy
meadows, and having recrossed the
river regained Hanwell by some
very rough lanes. lifting his machine
over the closed gates. Altogether he
covered distance of about five miles
and his time was little more than
forty-one minutes. Subsequently
few well-known cyclists, who were
among the visitors, tried the machine
and rode over the most uneven
ground, up and down short and sharp
hills, over bricks and other obstruc-
tions in a manner that greatly sur
prised military men and others who
were present.
